Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor guy! It would be ok for Miika to play fetch as long as he does not appear to be in discomfort and the tooth does not appear to get worse. I think there is a good chance that this does not worsen by playing fetch but that would be dependent on how weak the tooth is to begin with. If at any point he shows discomfort which he may display by not wanting to eat kibble or something hard, then stop playing fetch with him until this is fixed. Good luck and have a blessed day!

You are correct that antlers and nylon bones will break teeth, but they can also cause obstructions and/or perforations in the GI tract. I recommend a Kong toy. Those are very tough chew toys that are hard to dogs to destroy. You can also fill them with treats. I'd recommend, as an occasional treat, filling it with peanut butter and freezing it overnight in the freezer. That will keep her occupied for a while.

In general any thing that is not solid such as a bone, or that its too small or soft which he could break and ingest is ideal. Kong toys tend to be particularly good as they are not very hard on their teeth and cannot be ingested. Another benefit is that you can hide treats in these toys which entertains dogs for longer period of times. Hope this helps and best of luck

Poor Nash! It sounds like he may be a bit fearful, or having some socialization issues. A good first step would be to have your husband carry Nash's favorite treat with him at all times. Any time Nash approaches or shows interest, your husband can then reward him with praise and a treat, helping Nash start to associate your husband with good things, even in slightly scarier places (such as outside). You can also have people approach him and toss a treat to him (without acknowledging or petting him) to help him start to associate people with positives as well. I also highly recommend working with a trainer in person that can assist you with training techniques such as BAT (Behavioral Adjustment Training) to work on the fear and barking around other pets and people.

Some dogs just don't care for toys, and this is ok! You could try puzzle toys where you put treats or dog food inside and they have to figure out how to get the food out. This is great mental stimulation and can provide some exercise. I do not recommend leaving soft toys or rawhide at home while you are gone just in case your dog decides to pull it apart or swallow large pieces - these can be a choking hazard.
